Fail GNG, not a notable person. I couldn't find any significant coverage. MRRaja001 ^(talk) 17:16, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User:MRRaja001, Swami Vidya Prakashananda Giri is a notable person. I have included the notable references including a the news report by The Hindu news paper. Also the work done by him on Bhagavadgita is mentioned by third party book published by reputed publishers. Also the regional news papers Eenadu covered full article on him. May I know why these references are not good enough for a notable person? Ravichandra (talk) 17:22, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have also added a biography reference published by TTD (Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam), a reputed publication notable for religious books. - Ravichandra (talk) 17:30, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please share all the references that can be considered primary references here for discussion. Thank you - MRRaja001 ^(talk) 03:35, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As a first reference, I would like to mention the article by The Hindu. This article discusses about Vidya Prakasananda at length along with the Ashram that he has started.
Second is a book where E. Sreedharan mentions his work Gita Makaranda.
There was another article in this biography which was reproduced from The news paper Zamin Rytu. Unfortunately, I could not trace the original source.

For further references, I will try to find the news paper archives and list it here.- Ravichandra (talk) 15:08, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The First reference to Hindu Newspaper is talking about the Sukabrahma Ashram that he founded. It cannot be taken as the primary reference. In the second reference even though Sridharan is referring to his book it cannot be takeb as primary source since Sridharan didn't describe anything about Vidyaprakasananda Giri. The last reference which is a biography book about him was self-published by their own organization Sukabrahma Ashram so it cannot be taken as a reference. Thanks. - MRRaja001 ^(talk) 08:45, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am sure that there was a lot of news published about him during his life time. I personally read many articles. But the problem is there are no news archives of these news reports. Earlier there used to be one website operated by Press Academy of Andhra Pradesh. But it is no longer operational. So the reference may not be immediately available. If you think this article is not worth to be in the main space, please move it to a draft. I will be definitely trying to find primary references for the same. - Ravichandra (talk) 16:04, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: As per these references and some more reserch with specific keywords. I found him notable. So I propose to keep this article. I will help to improve the citations and references to this article. - MRRaja001 ^(talk) 02:14, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I note the nominator is now saying "Keep". Shouldn't the AfD therefore be considered withdrawn? SomethingForDeletion (talk) 08:01, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
